Autentično JA u glumačkoj profesiji
Voditelji: dr. sc. Iris Tomić i mag. paed. soc. Robert Janđel
Postoji mit da dobar glumac mora biti spreman na potpunu predaju — da je granica između sebe i lika nešto što treba probiti, a ne čuvati. Ova radionica polazi od suprotnog uvjerenja: autentična glumačka prisutnost nije moguća bez čvrstog unutarnjeg temelja. Glumac koji zna tko je može ući u bilo koji lik upravo zato što zna gdje se vraća.
Studenti glume svaki dan ulaze stvarnost u nekog drugoga. Nose tuđe emocije, govore tuđim tekstom, žive tuđe odluke. To je privilegija, ali i teret koji se rijetko imenuje. Glumačka praksa puna je imperativa: budi uvjerljiv, budi ranjiv, budi prisutan. U toj lavini zahtjeva jedno pitanje gotovo uvijek ostaje bez prostora: tko sam ja kad skinem masku?
Ova dramaterapijska radionica radi s tim pitanjem. Nije usmjerena na glumačku tehniku niti na produkciju scenskog materijala, već je usmjerena na osobu koja tu tehniku nosi. Na studente koji svakodnevno balansiraju između uloge i identiteta, između onog što se od njih traži i onoga što zapravo jest.
Dramaterapija ovdje nije terapija u kliničkom smislu. Ona je siguran, strukturiran i vođen prostor za istraživanje u kojemu glumačka profesija prestaje biti samo skup tehnika i postaje razgovor s onim što te nosi i što te troši.
U tri dana, kroz četiri terapijska alata, sudionici istražuju granicu između lika i sebe — i grade unutarnji temelj kojemu se mogu vraćati.

Who Am I Behind the Mask?
The Authentic Self in the Acting Profession
Facilitators: Dr. Iris Tomić and Robert Janđel, MA
There is a myth that a good actor must be willing to surrender completely — that the boundary between self and character is something to be broken, not protected. This workshop starts from the opposite belief: authentic presence on stage is not possible without a solid inner foundation. An actor who knows who they are can inhabit any character precisely because they know where they return.
Acting students step into someone else’s reality every day. They carry other people’s emotions, speak other people’s words, live other people’s choices. It is a privilege, but also a burden that is rarely named. Acting practice is full of imperatives: be convincing, be vulnerable, be present. In that avalanche of demands, one question almost always goes unanswered: who am I when I take the mask off?
This dramatherapy workshop works with that question. It is not focused on acting technique or the production of scene material — it is focused on the person who carries that technique. On students who every day balance between role and identity, between what is asked of them and who they actually are.
Dramatherapy here is not therapy in the clinical sense. It is a safe, structured, and guided space for exploration, one in which the acting profession stops being just a set of techniques and becomes a conversation with what sustains you and what wears you down.
Over three days, through four therapeutic tools, participants explore the boundary between character and self — and build an inner foundation they can return to.
